ABSTRACT
Although total meniscectomy had been performed as a treatment of meniscal tear, many published articles reported progression of the degeneration process and development of the osteoarthritis after meniscectomy. Meniscal repair has been performed increasingly, with the increased knowledge of the biomechanical properties of the meniscus. However, resection of the meniscus is still needed for irreparable tear and should be performed as minimally as possible to maintain the important functions of the meniscus. When substantial meniscal tissue is resected, meniscal allograft transplantation is considered to be a therapeutic option for young active patients to prevent the progress of degenerative change of the cartilage. In this review, indications and outcomes after meniscectomy, meniscal repair, and meniscal transplantation for the treatment of the meniscal injury are discussed.
